Right Track Wrong Train

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Mama said, "Son, are you ever gonna stop your running? That sweet Julie Baker'd be a good homemaker And she's always had eyes for you" I said, "Mama, I know she's a good girl But our dreams are not the same" Right track, wrong train [Verse 2] I've plowed these fields in the hot sun on the tractor Been covered in grease from my head to my feet Turning wrenches and pumping gas I can't seem to find my direction This town's like a ball and chain Right track, wrong train [Chorus] I can hear that lonesome whistle blow somewhere in the night I've got to ride that big iron horse past the city limits sign I've gone as far as I can go, there's no one to blame Right track, wrong train [Bridge] When you're torn between a home and a dream Decisions are hard to make When you can't be what everyone wants you to be There's chances that you've got to take [Chorus] I can hear that lonesome whistle blow somewhere in the night I've got to ride that big iron horse past the city limits sign I've gone as far as I can go, there's no one to blame Right track, wrong train Right track, wrong train [Outro] Mama said, "Son, are you ever gonna stop your running?"
